Peer Assessment:

I have made and handed in the peer assessment form for my Moving image Module.
To do the Assessment I considered who played what roles how well they did them and if I feel they worked hard enough.

Thomas Stowell: I have enjoyed working with Thomas. I felt he played the biggest part in the group and almost a leadership role. I would really like to work with him again since he was punctual and did what he needed to do and more. Thomas was in charge of the filming, however he put in the extra effort of making scripts doing large part of our treatment and played a crucial role in getting the film edited with me to be handed in on time.

Connor Brown: Connor has been nice to work with when he turned up, however large part of the time I have also felt he lacked inspiration to do so. Connor had the roles of Acting, editing and story boarding. He did come up with some good ideas for our film and his acting was good for our film, however he didn't contribute much in helping us as for editing and other parts such as treatment. Overall I felt was a minimal effort yet, what he did was good.

Viknesh Prabhakar: Viknesh didn't turn up much so I really didn't get to see much of his efforts for our group, however if I missed any I do apologize, nevertheless, Viknesh main role was to Direct our film, he failed to do so and I ended u taking up this role as my own. Also didn't help in the treatment and barely helped in our editing sessions. I feel he is capable of more but as for this assignment there was a lack of teamwork.

Overall I felt the group may have lacked communication for better group work, but the efforts were much clearer from Thomas and myself.

What went well:

I felt that considering the lack of turning up at times, we managed to effectively assemble a film which was ok. I feel that we may have been able to do a better job with everyone participating however for the time we had the job was good.

I feel my role of Managing the sound effectively, working on fine editing was achieved to the best of my abilities. I also had the chance to act and direct our film which I felt taught me new things and new ways of working with the group.

The treatment part of our work and all pre production work such as the scripts were effectively made and aided us in doing our work. Overall I felt that having this part helped us get the rest of the project done quickly and efficiently.



What I have learnt from this:

I felt that from having done this project, I have learnt new skills as for filming and editing , as well as work ethics. I will have to consider that the team is what keeps the project running next time and try to motivate those who work less to do more.

I would like to pursue this further in my own time and perhaps in the future, but as for now these learnt skills can aid me in other artistic fields. I will however still carry on research into the field and learn new techniques.
